Order direct from your own menu, at 0% commission
ala.menu gives your diners the ordering they know from the delivery app on your own menu, with delivery priced by area, cards through your bank, Whish or cash, an order board and live tracking, at 0% commission. Each diner who orders direct joins your own customer list with a loyalty card in their wallet; The Protein Bar takes its delivery and pickup orders on theprotein-bar.com.
The Protein Bar takes its orders on its own domain, theprotein-bar.com, with cards through its own bank.
0% commission on every plan.
The second order is the one worth keeping
0% commission, every order, every plan
Including Free. The money moves between you and whoever you take payment with, and gateway fees go straight to the gateway.
Keep the app for discovery
A marketplace is how a stranger finds you, and that is worth paying for. What is not worth paying for is the regular who already knows your name paying you less than they used to.
Your own link
ala.menu/yourname, or your own domain on Pro. Your colours, your logo, your photos, your counter prices instead of delivery pricing.
Take the order however the diner likes
A proper checkout on your own page with delivery zones and an order dashboard, or a WhatsApp message with the items already written out. Most restaurants run both and let the diner pick.
The customer comes with the order
Name, phone, what they ordered, what they spent, when they last came. On a marketplace all of that stays in the marketplace.
Nothing to install, for anyone
The diner opens a link. You open a dashboard. Nobody downloads an app for one restaurant.

Live in three steps
1. Send the menu you have
A PDF, a photo of the printed menu, or a description. The AI builder does the typing, free, with no quota.
2. Turn on ordering
A checkout on your own page with delivery zones, or WhatsApp, or both. Cash, a manual transfer with the Whish, OMT, MoMo or bank presets, or a card through your own gateway.
3. Put your link everywhere the app is not
The QR on the table, the link in your bio, the sticker on the bag that went out through the app. That is how the second order comes direct.

Every customer stays yours: the number, the orders, the cart they left, on your own list
Every order on your menu writes the diner’s name, number and order history to your customer list, and from that list you call, message or reward the same guest again.
Customers
Every order writes a customer row: name, phone, how many orders, what they spent, when they last ordered. Open one and the full order history is there, with a phone number you can actually call. On Plus.
The cart they left
A diner who typed a phone number at checkout and left is listed under Customers with what was in the cart. One tap opens WhatsApp with a reminder in their language, and a promo code if you choose. On Plus.
The regular who stopped coming
The customer list filters to anyone with no order in 30 days. Open the row, tap WhatsApp, and on Pro attach a coupon locked to that person. On Plus.
CSV export
Export the whole list, or only the customers who agreed to hear from you, with orders, spend, and first and last order dates. It is your list, in a file, whenever you want it. On Pro.
Promo codes
Bring a guest back with a code you set yourself: a percentage, a fixed amount, or free delivery. It can apply on its own, be limited to a first order, or be usable once per phone number. On Plus.
Reviews
After an order every diner sees the stars and a Review on Google button, and the rating and the written feedback come to you. On Plus.
Loyalty
A punch card that rewards every few orders, or a reward at a spend milestone, with the card saved in Apple and Google Wallet. Website orders stamp themselves; walk-ins and WhatsApp orders you stamp. On Pro.
Analytics
Menu views, unique visitors and the most tapped item, free. Orders, the view-to-order rate, and the funnel from a view to a placed order, on Plus.
Ordering direct, answered
Should I leave the delivery apps?
No, and we would not advise it. Move the regular, the person who already knows your name and what they want, to your own menu, where the order costs 0% and the customer stays yours. Keep the rest.
Is 0% commission real, or is it a launch offer?
Real, and structural. Payment runs on your own gateway credentials or in cash, so the gateway charges you its fee directly and we never sit in the middle of an order. Free is a plan, not a trial.
How do diners pay me?
Cash on delivery, a manual transfer with the Whish, OMT, MoMo, bank or other presets where the diner sends and you confirm, or a card through your own gateway: Stripe, CyberSource, Areeba’s Mastercard gateway or PayPal, and Whish Pay in Lebanon. Turn on only what you use.
What happens to the money when I reject a paid order?
Rejecting or cancelling a paid order refunds it through Stripe, MPGS, PayPal or CyberSource; a Whish refund you send yourself, wallet to wallet, and it is tracked as due or sent. On Plus.
Do my diners need an app?
No. The menu is a web page: no app to install and no account to create. The loyalty card goes to the wallet the phone already has, and the number the diner types is yours.
What about WhatsApp orders?
WhatsApp is one of the methods, not the headline. The diner taps your menu, builds an order, and it lands in your chat with the items and quantities written out. It is free, it is on every plan, and it is often the fastest thing to switch on. A proper checkout on your own page, with delivery zones and an order dashboard, is on Plus.
What does an order cost me here?
Nothing. ala.menu takes 0% of every order, on every plan: you pay the plan, per location, and gateway fees go straight between you and the gateway.
What does it cost?
Website ordering with delivery zones and an order dashboard is Plus; a custom domain and loyalty are Pro. Plus is $49 a location a month and Pro $99. The menu, the templates, your Page and WhatsApp ordering are free, with no card and no trial period. 0% commission on every plan.
Keep the discovery. Keep the margin too.
Send us the menu you already have and your own ordering is live today, with no commission behind it.
